Pennsylvania Broker Arrested for Ponzi Scheme

Posted on June 10th, 2014 at 12:00 PM

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law Offices:

Patricia S. Miller, 67, a Pennsylvania registered broker, recently was arrested for orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme.

Miller allegedly stole money from clients to invest in “investment clubs” called, among other things, “KS investment” and “Buckharbor”, with a promise of high return through a Massachusetts-based broker dealer, Investors Capital Corporation.

Miller representedthat funds put into her investment clubs would be placed in fixed-income notes and other investments. Instead of investing money as promised, Miller misappropriated client funds for her own personal use.
